Walsh was formerly managing director of its European headquarters’ office in Brussels.

Prior to joining APCO in 2004, Walsh worked for a range of consultancies on public affairs, financial and corporate communication assignments as well as in UK politics. He had served as managing director of the Brussels office since 2007.

On the appointment, Larry Snoddon, global vice chairman and CEO of APCO’s Asia region, said: “The Southeast Asia region is a rapidly growing part of the world, and APCO is well-positioned to bring innovative approaches and structures in managing client needs in these countries.”
